[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Advocates for TO or test blind admissions deserve all the infuriating moments coming their way. They have unsuccessfully attempted to justify these failed policies for plenty of pseudoscience reasons, but it has always been about the test results in their own homes.

They didn't care about access to education. Otherwise, trade schools, community colleges, or state schools would have been more than enough to wet their beak.

They cared about access to "prestigious" education, and if sticking it to the higher-performing kids who have always stood in the way of their kids getting a piece of that prestige pie, they were overjoyed to help crash this DEI jalopy into the ditch we now find ourselves in.

Sending their far too often unprepared kid to a top school was the aim. Taking seats away from more qualified applicants was just a vindictive bonus. But again, as long as they got "theirs".[/quote]

You think you know what drives other people to think the way they do? NP here, but I can say what infuriates me about TO is that my kid's very high 1450 was no longer good enoughto get him into schools that he would have been able to in 2020. So yes, it is about the test results in my home, and many others' whose hard-working, bright kids didn't know they should submit those strong scores because the average scores went up so high it became impossible to know what to do. Thank goodness sanity has come back to the process and more students will be given a look at top universities, not just those who submit and assume they should be automatically let in just because they broke 1500.[/quote]
